[QUOTE="Primitive Screwhead, post: 6826907, member: 20805"] Thanks. You could probably pin it alongside the errata listing. Something jumped out at me while looking at your screenshots... and this is a knee-jerk reaction to a case of stupid many year ago... Shield Customization... Weightless. Does not encumber vs weighs zero {0} lbs. I love the idea of a shield/armor that does not encumber {ie, doesn't count against the total weight carried or restrict movement} so I can have the swashbuckling adventure climbing up in the ships rigging in plate mail..... but having had a rather lengthy argument over the whole 'you are wearing armor.. you sink', it would be nice to be crystal clear about how a 'weightless' shield affects your weight as opposed to how it affects your encumbrance. Yes, it was that stupid, and even tho it was decades ago I still get finicky about the topic. Long story short: Pally in full plate, large metal shield, and a claymore walked into a deadly quick-sand filled swamp with 'But my armor is magic, it doesn't encumber me so I won't sink!' [/QUOTE]
